About Us

Write! Africa Write! is PEN South Africa’s call for African writers to say what they wish to say and to eschew the divisions of the past in favour of the idea of one humanity living in peace on one continent. PEN South Africa is affiliated to PEN International - an organisation operating on all six continents that represents writers of the world, defends free expression and encourages literature. A leading voice of literature, PEN brings together poets, novelists, essayists, historians, playwrights, critics, translators, editors, journalists and screenwriters in a common concern for the craft and art of writing and a commitment to freedom of expression through the written word.

Any questions regarding awards, competitions, residencies, events, etc., should be sent directly to the relevant organisers. PEN SA attempts to establish that the information received is genuine before sharing it on our website, but we cannot be held responsible should that not be the case.
